What exactly happened between Noah, Ham and Canaan? Was Noah unhappy simply because Ham saw him naked? Or did Ham sexually molest the drunken Noah?

It's implied in the Bible that he was sexually molested. Nudity in the Bible was not seen as evil. Jesus was naked on the fishing boat and again when he was washing the Disciple's feet. He removed his clothes, wrapped a towel around his waist, washed their feet, then dried them off with the towel. Nudity in itself is not evil.

The truth is was edited out... Noah was probably an alcoholic, and his kids were screwed up too.
Genesis
9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

This is just my feeling but I think he was exposed for more than just his nakedness. He was embarassed at his behavior and misdirected his anger. There's a lesson to be learned.

The Bible leads you to believe that he did indeed molest his father.

This is one of those times when scripture actually does explain itself.
Moses revealed the truth of the matter, and it's not what everyone thinks it is.

Lev 18:6 No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.

Lev 18:16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother.
Lev 18:17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest.
